Saw the same thing. In my expert medical opinion I thought it was a calf/achilles. Unfortunately his leg did appear to still be attached to the rest of his body.

Kevin Garnett left Thursday's game with an apparent right leg injury during the second quarter.

He looked gimpy throughout the two plays prior to the one he left on, and hopped on one foot to the locker room with the assistance of trainers. We will update this blurb when we get a report, but his return to the game is in question.

"There's no reason we need to be shackled by the strictures of the employee-employer relationship. Unless you're into that sort of thing. In which case, I got some shackles in the back. I'm just kidding. But seriously, I've got 'em."

did he pull a Pierce and have to be taken off the floor via Life Flight?

A single tear runs down my cheek.

I'm sorry I threw that gum wrapper out my car window!

No-contact injury. Sometimes those are nothing but many times tests confirm something more the next day.

By the way, no matter how much the guy's a dick, not cool to wish things like an Achilles injury on him. I know most of you spoke in jest, but didn't get the feeling from all the posts that everyone was joking...

Will chalk it up to in-the-moment rambling but think before you post...

Hopefully it's nothing more than career ending.

Man, more than a few of us are headed to hell.

Hell?....Might be worth an NBA Championship to most here. I'll settle for him being out long enough for them to lose 9 out of the next 10. Maybe I'll just get Purgatory or something.

not me, I'd rather we beat the C's at full strength, preferably on THEIR homecourt. It'd make it that much sweeter. Tommy Heinson would sh*t a brick

After watching it I don't think anyone can come to any conclusions. i will say this, that the stretch tehy have up until they play us in 2 weeks just got real interesting.

Plus if we play them @ Boston without KG you have to like our chances...(that could be huge to the season series tiebreaker)

Playing here is the closest thing to heaven. Really, I mean it's amazing to be in a place where the fans truly cherish their football team and stick behind them win or lose.

Sucks having an old team. Was bound to happen sooner or later to either KG or Allen; playing a 110 game season as a 32-year old the year before takes its toll especially when you've had to play massive minutes carrying a crappy team for the preceding decade.

Doesn't really matter to me as I'm sure Beantown didn't give 2 shits about us losing Boobie last year and them winning a very close game 7

That trophy will feel the same either way to me

+1.

Believe me I want a championship as much as the next guy. What I don't want to hear, especially from Chowds and the talking heads at the Network, is how the ONLY way we could win was having one of the "Big 3" injured.

Who gives a shit? You think the people in Boston care that the only reason they won the chip in 1976 was because Jim Chones got hurt?

I'm not picky. It's been 45 years. I don't care if all three of those fuckers go down, I'll take a title any way I can get it.

yeah, just like they say the only reason why houston won those back-to-back titles in the mid 90's was because michael jordan was off playing baseball somewhere. be real. i don't give 2 shits what any "chowds" or the espn talking heads say. if the cavs win a championship at the expense of a boston injury, then so be it. the fact will remain that they still won the championship and they can't take that away. nanner-nanner-nah-nah

Preach it, I would contemplate selling my first born to see a winner in this town. The ways things go around here, I might have to.

Screamin' A said on the Network that the C's are going to cautious with Garnett. They'd rather go into the playoffs as a #3 seed w/ a healthy KG than as #1 w/o KG or a hobbling KG. It'll be interesting to hear the results of the MRI. Didn't Redd have a "sprain" before his MRI? Same with Bynum?

They are done-yins if they go in as anythimg but the 1 seed.

IMO.

Yup. They only beat us last year because they had HCA. On the road, those little bullying moves by KG turn into cheap fouls. That team relies on intimidation, and that tactic doesn't work so well away from the Garden.

PHOENIX -- The Boston Celtics say forward Kevin Garnett will miss two to three weeks because of a strained muscle behind his right knee.

Garnett returned Friday to Boston after injuring the knee on the team's West Coast trip. Celtics spokesman Jeff Twiss says Saturday that team doctor Brian McKeon diagnosed the muscle strain after tests and an MRI.

"Rest and ice for KG," Celtics president Danny Ainge told The Boston Globe.

Garnett injured his knee while going up for an alley-oop late in the first half of Boston's 90-85 loss to the Utah Jazz on Thursday. He landed gingerly and immediately motioned to the bench for a substitute.

After the game, the team decided to send him back to Boston as a precaution when the soreness in his knee persisted. The Celtics play in Phoenix on Sunday.

Boston might pick up free agent forward-center Mikki Moore, who was cut by Sacramento, or Oklahoma City forward Joe Smith if he is ever waived, the Globe reported.

This opens up a huge window for Cleveland. providing Boston loses some games without KG. I can see the Celtics losing to Phoenix tomorrow and Denver next week on the second night of a back to back. Then Cleveland HAS to beat them at their place on the 6th. Obviously the Cavs can't go losing to anyone in the mean time. The Celtics are still going to be a tough team even without the ticket. They still have plenty of good players and the league is shite this year. Hopefully the Cavs can grab a hold of the top seed in the East as a result of this injury to Garnett. I truly believe the Cavs can take even a full strength Boston team with home court addy in the playoffs.

Bottom line - doesn't matter whose healthy or not. Screw the rest of the league, if we lose focus of what we have to do ourselves - we're done. Every team plays 82 games. The next west coast swing should be doable. Don't get caught bitchin at the refs or looking ahead - TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN BUSINESS! The ONLY thing the Cavaliers need to be thinking about today, Feb. 22, is the Detroit Pistons. Charlie Vilanueva may just have given this team the kick in the ass that they needed when they needed it.
